Directions to The Studio
The Studio is located in Moshav Bitan Aharon in Emeq Hefer, just
off the Coastal Road (#2) north of Netanya.
From the south: take the Coastal Road (#2) north past all
three Netanya exits (Poleg/Ikea, Sapir, Netanya/Kfar Yona) to the
Havazzelet interchange (Havazzelet/Givat Shapira/Bitan Aharon). DO NOT
get off at that interchange; rather, remain on the Coastal Road for
another hundred meters or so until you cross under a bridge, after
which you will see a sign ("Bitan Aharon 250 meters") that directs you
off the road to the right. Once off the Coastal Road drive straight
ahead. You will pass a new shopping plaza on your right (Cafenetto,
MacDonald's). The entrance to Bitan Aharon is only a few meters ahead
on the left, but there is no longer a left turn there. You will need
to drive straight for another twenty meters, come all the way around
the traffic circle, and head back toward the Coastal Road. The
entrance to Bitan Aharon is now on your right, so turn right and
continue straight over three speed bumps and onto a gravel road. After
about 60 meters you will see a sign for The Studio on your right. Turn
in and park along the driveway, then walk up to The Studio. (The drive
from the Coastal Road to The Studio should take you no longer than two
minutes.)
From the north: take the Coastal Road (#2) south past the Beit
Yannai exit to the Havazzelet exit (Sonol petrol station). You will need
to cross over the Coastal Road, which you do by turning left when you
get off the exit and left again at the T on the other (east) side of the
bridge. Continue to the T at the bottom of the road. Turn right. The
entrance to Bitan Aharon is only a few meters ahead on the left, but
there is no longer a left turn there. You will need to drive straight
for another twenty meters, come all the way around the traffic circle,
and head back toward the Coastal Road. The entrance to Bitan Aharon is
now on your right, so turn right and continue straight over three speed
bumps and onto a gravel road. After about 60 meters you will see a sign
for The Studio on your right. Turn in and park along the driveway, then
walk up to The Studio. (The drive from the Coastal Road to The Studio
should take you no longer than two minutes.)
Jerusalemites (and others) may wish to travel via the Trans Israel
Highway (#6). Get off at the Nitzanei Oz exit and follow the signs to
Netanya, which is due west on Road #57. At Netanya, follow the
northbound Coastal Road (#2) to the Havazzelet interchange (Havazzelet/Givat
Shapira/Bitan Aharon). See 'from the south,' above.
You can also reach Bitan Aharon via Road #5710, which runs from the
Hefer junction on Road #4 to Bitan Aharon.
